Wheat variety XW10V

Abstract

A wheat variety designated XW10V, the plants and seeds of wheat variety XW10V, methods for producing a wheat plant produced by crossing the variety XW10V with another wheat plant, and hybrid wheat seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety XW10V with another wheat line or plant, and the creation of variants by mutagenesis or transformation of variety XW10V. This invention also relates to methods for producing other wheat varieties or breeding lines derived from wheat variety XW10V and to wheat varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]This invention is in the field of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding, specifically relating to a wheat variety designated XW10V.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]Wheat is grown worldwide and is the most widely adapted cereal. There are five main wheat market classes. They include the four common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) classes: hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, and white. The fifth class is durum (Triticum turgidum L.). Common wheats are used in a variety of food products such as bread, cookies, cakes, crackers, and noodles. In general the hard wheat classes are milled into flour used for breads and the soft wheat classes are milled into flour used for pastries and crackers. Wheat starch is used in the food and paper industries, as laundry starches, and in other products. Because of its use in baking, the grain quality of wheat is very important. To test the grain quality of wheat for use as flour, milling properties are analyzed. Importan...

Benefits of technology

[0003]The present invention relates to a new and distinctive wheat variety, designated XW10V which has been the result of years of careful breeding and selection as part of a wheat breeding program. There are numerous steps in the development of any novel, desirable plant germplasm. Plant breeding begins with the analysis and definition of problems and weaknesses of the current germplasm, the establishment of program goals, and the definition of specific breeding objectives. The next step is selection of germplasm that possess the traits to meet the program goals. The goal is to combine in a single variety an improved combination of desirable traits from the parental germplasm. These important traits may include higher seed yield, resistance to diseases and insects, tolerance to drought and heat, improved grain quality, and better agronomic qualities.

Problems solved by technology

A cross of two heterozygous plants each that differ at a number of gene loci will produce a population of plants that differ genetically and will not be uniform.
